Panasonic VA-20861 - Manual (Page 40)

WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop
the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must
be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any
reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured
to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost
(in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

WARNING
— Before beginning the

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for

if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower
drawer).
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over
hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above
the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage
space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out
at least 5″ beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets
installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13″.
